Chapter 47 Conversation
After the morning court the next day, Lin Pingkang was walking with Sun Binghuai, the Minister of Zhongshu, but was stopped by Wu An, the imperial historian.

"Do you mind being together?" Wu An asked with a smile.

"Master Wu, you may as well speak up if you have any questions." Sun Binghuai asked without giving any face.

Wu An had expected the attitude of the two of them, and he was not angry. He still smiled and said, "I wonder if the two adults are free. Let's go to Hongxing Restaurant for a few drinks?"

As soon as Lin Pingkang heard what Wu An said, he knew that the prime minister had invited him.

Although he had already made up his mind to seek refuge with the Prince Regent, he didn't want to make it too ugly.

So he smiled and said: "Master Wu is invited, so naturally he is free."

"What about Master Sun?" Wu An asked while looking at Sun Binghuai with a smile.

Sun Binghuai's expression was not good, but he nodded slightly.

Wu An smiled even wider when he saw this, but the prime minister asked him to bring them both over.

If Sun Binghuai really didn't give him face, he would have nothing to do with Sun Binghuai.

But now it seems that Sun Binghuai is quite sensible and did not embarrass him.

The three of them came to the second floor of Hongxing Restaurant, where Prime Minister Yao Bosong was already waiting in the private room.

"Come, come, two adults, sit down quickly."

Wu An beckoned the two to sit down, and then sat on the prime minister's right hand side.

"Prime Minister asked me two to come here today, why?" Sun Binghuai asked, even though facing Prime Minister Yao, there was still no trace of amiability on his face.

"I also heard about what happened at the flower viewing banquet yesterday. I also feel deeply guilty. This is to make amends to the two adults." Prime Minister Yao frowned slightly, and said with guilt on his face.

Prime Minister Yao was born as the No. [-] Scholar, even now that he is old, he still has the refined and bookish spirit.

Looking amiable and amiable, it gives people a feeling of spring breeze.

"Since it's an apology, why didn't Ms. Yao come to make an apology?" Sun Binghuai asked.

Now when she thinks of her daughter's blood-stained face with deep wounds, she can't help feeling angry.

Yesterday he searched all over the doctors in the capital, and even begged the little emperor to invite the imperial doctor in the palace, but all of them were helpless.

He has worked hard in the officialdom for many years and worked hard to climb up, just to protect his family.

Now that her good daughter was injured like this for no reason, he naturally refused to let it go.

"I know Mrs. Sun is angry, but Yurou didn't mean it either."

Prime Minister Yao personally poured a cup of tea for Sun Binghuai and pushed it in front of him with his hand.

The meaning is obviously an apology to Sun Binghuai. If Sun Binghuai drinks this cup of tea, the matter will be over.

If ordinary people saw the Prime Minister lowering his posture like this, they would go downhill, but Sun Bing was thinking about his daughter, so he couldn't drink this cup of tea no matter what.

"Does the prime minister think that a cup of tea can offset Miss Yao's damage to my Sun family?!" Sun Bing said angrily.

Hearing this, Yao Bosong asked with his expression unchanged, "Of course not, it's just a big mistake, and there is no room for redemption."

Prime Minister Yao's tone was calm, and his seemingly simple words were actually reminding Sun Binghuai.

Your daughter's face is ruined, this is an unchangeable fact, you don't want to use a bamboo basket to fetch water in vain.

"So the prime minister dismissed me with a cup of tea?" Sun Binghuai sarcastically said.

Sun Binghuai was planted as an official, although he didn't say he was very smooth, but the meaning of his words was still clear.

"Since my Prime Minister's House made a mistake first, if Mr. Sun has any requirements, you might as well tell them." Prime Minister Yao said without any emotion.

"Since the prime minister said so, then I will not be polite." Sun Binghuai said.

"Master Sun, please speak directly." Wu An said with a smile.

I thought what I was saying was to seek justice for my daughter, and I didn't want to take the opportunity to get some benefits.

As he spoke, he gave Sun Binghuai the tea in front of him again, as if he was expected to drink it.

Sun Binghuai looked at Prime Minister Yao seriously, not joking at all:
"I want Ms. Yao to kneel and knock nine times to make amends for my daughter."

As soon as these words came out, the gentle smile on Prime Minister Yao's face was visibly lessened.

The atmosphere in the entire private room also became heavy.

Wu An quickly came out to persuade him: "Master Sun, isn't this embarrassing?"

"It's embarrassing?" Sun Binghuai asked excitedly, "Yao Yurou slashed my daughter's face, causing my daughter to almost commit suicide last night. I just asked her to accompany my daughter for a crime. Is this embarrassing?!"

"This..." Wu An was a little speechless for a while.

This is of course embarrassing, she is the lady of the prime minister's mansion, and you, the daughter of the Zhongshu servant's family, cannot be compared.

Besides, you asked Miss Yao to kneel and kowtow three times to plead guilty, which is slapping the Prime Minister's House in the face.

"Master Sun calm down, do you want to think about it again?" Wu An stepped forward to help Sun Binghuai calm down, and suggested.

Sun Binghuai rejected Wu An's kindness, and said categorically:
"Don't think about it, I only have this request! I believe that the prime minister is the most fair and honest, and he will definitely not defend his shortcomings!"

Sun Binghuai's voice fell to the ground, and there was silence in the private room.

Wu An looked at the prime minister's unhappy face, wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, and stepped forward to persuade again:

"Master Sun, they are all officials in the same dynasty, why should you?"

"This matter has nothing to do with Master Wu, please stop talking too much!" Sun Binghuai said.

Wu An's persuasive words made Sun Binghuai so angry that he couldn't say a word.

He didn't expect this Sun Binghuai to be so ignorant of flattery!
But when it came to this, he could only keep his mouth shut.

Sun Binghuai had been waiting for the prime minister's reply, and seeing that the prime minister was only drinking tea, he didn't care about him at all.

The anger in my heart became even stronger: "Since the prime minister didn't sincerely come to make amends, then I don't need to drink this tea."

After speaking, he left without waiting for a few people to respond.

Wu An looked at Sun Binghuai's angry back, and the expression on his face froze for a moment.

He didn't expect that Sun Binghuai would lose face to the prime minister because of a daughter.

"Master Sun's temper is still the same as before." Wu An tried to smooth things over with a dry smile, "Shangshu Lin, drink tea."

Lin Pingkang lowered his eyes slightly and looked at the tea in front of him without moving.

Instead, he asked: "The lower officials are dull, I don't know why the Prime Minister needs to apologize to the lower officials?"

When Prime Minister Yao heard what Lin Pingkang said, the smile on his face recovered.

Even Wu An couldn't help sighing that he was worthy of being a minister, and indeed the prime minister could pull a boat in his stomach, and the art of speaking was not comparable to that of ordinary people.

One sentence denied the fact that Ms. Yao planned to frame Miss Lin.

That being the case, there is no reason for the Prime Minister's Mansion to apologize to the Minister's Mansion.

"Shangshu Lin is right. The Shangshu's Mansion and the Prime Minister's Mansion have a very close relationship, and it's too far-fetched to say that apologizing." Wu An said with a smile.
